A Lightning Change artist.

81 ran against a tough case a few days
ago." said u Chicago drummer, in a
clicking way. at was in Chicago,
which, by the way, beats all creation j n
everything but base ball. A girl
she was not more than 30, very pretty
and as innocent looking as a lamb-was
caught begging and locked up for OBJ
timing money under false pretences.
When taken to police head quarters and
searched the girl was found to be array
ed in the garments of a lightning change
artist of the vaudeville stage. Her dress
revealed a new phase of criminal clever
ness, and when she saw that she was dis
covered, Miss Innocence owned up and
operated her costume for the entertain
mint of her captors. She wore a tight,
dark suit, and, what seemed to be a
dark felt hat with enc of those rolling
wide brims SO often seen upon the streets.
A swift displacement of many hooks,
eyes and buttons and a def movement
of fingers around the hat, changed the
shape and drapery of dress, revealing a
differently co.ored front, and upon her
head was a neat turban. Another man
irulation of the dress changed her into
a Sister Of Charity and still another into
a %fashionab'y dressed girl. Hundreds of
charitable people and nearly every
church Of every denomination in Chicago
had given up to her. Oaly Chicago
could have produced such a girl. And
/ think that it will take good care of her
for many days. Atlanta Constitution.

ling Of atwig trodden upon, seemed as
if it could be heard for miles away. The
lovers hurried on, but noiselcssly,
Charley often stopping to listen. AT
last they reached the Hudson.
''Thank God," said Charley, "a
think | may say VIC are safe now.
Quick, Kate, let me put on your skates"
The task was soon completed; then
his own were fastened on; then he gave
Kate his hand.
"Now," he said, in a whisper, 1--WE
can defy Them" and together, at the
word, he and Kate struck out.
Charley led off at once to the middle
of the Hudson, where in the dim haze
they would have the best chance, he
thought, Of escaping notice from the
banks. For they had teken
to the ice just where a small creek
emptied into the greater river, and he
had noticed, with some concern, that an
old mill stood but a short distance up
the stream. Not until he found no one
had been aroused, not until the mill was
out of sight, did he venture to address
Kate again. But then he gave vent to
the wild exuberance of his spirits. He
had won. KITE was hist He could
hardly contain himself for joy. He
called her by all the pet, cndearing
MANS he could think of; and she
answered with uplifted eyes full OF
boundless, trusting love.
The miles went by noislessly and
swift. Not a living thing but them
selves was awake or abroad.
The lovers were soon on board the
train, and before evening reached Harbor
Lake, where they were quietly married.
Charley settled down with his pretty
bride in a pleasant New England town,
waited Till Kate was 25, when, in her
behalf, he claimed and obtained pos
session of her fortune, the power of the
McGowans expiring on that day.
After that the euviablc couple went to

met them last summer, and a happier
pair he never saw or believes ever exis-

A Mountain of Paint.

A few months ago, while some men
were prospecting for gold in the western
part OF Calaveras County, Cal, large guam
titles of earth of all colors and shades
were discovered. The substance rested
in layers, and upon further investigation
it was found that it extended oyer about
twenty acres of the mountain on the side
OF which it was found. The substance
was found to be various varieties oil
ochres. The find was a verital le noun

colors with their various shades.

T'OLLissg Ducks.

Tolling is q plan In which the amount
Of game secured far exceeds the sport.
For tolling. a short blind, consisting of Il
row of bushes planted about ten feet
from the waters edge, a good dog, and
some big guns, with large charges of
shot are all that is necessary. When the
ducks bed in proximity to tolling blind,
the parties who are going TO shoot take
up their position behind the blind. A
small playful Chesapeake or other dog
that has been chained up is let loose be
tween the blind and the water. A corn
cob is tossed to him, which he rctricves,
aud just as he gets to the front of the
blind another is tossed, and he is kept
playing around until he has attracted the
attention of the ducks. They soon grow
interested in the maneuvrcs of the dog
and begin gradually 10 approach the
shore. Their curiosity increases and
they will approach to within a few feet
of the shore. Then the party who is
working the dog, if he understands his
business, has them at his control. BY
manipulating the dog and playing him
first up beyond the blind and then down,
he car so the ducks, which
are swimming up and down as the dog
is worked, as to bring them directly in
front of the shooters in a solid body. At
a given signal the party, usually num-
boring from three to six men, shoot at
the ducks in the water, often bagging
from % to IS ducks at q round. The
ducks arc shot in the head AMI neck.
The curiosity of ducks is great, and the
prop"rtionate amount possessed by the
female over the male is as usual with the
sex generally. Out of a toll made on the
Gunpowder River last season 81 per cent.
of the ducks killed were females. -BaUi-

HoaU Gold Is Exported.

The process of shipping gold across
the Atlantic is thus described by che
Boston Commercial Bulletin:
Each keg contains $50, 900 in clear
gold. It is from the Bank of America
New York, that most Of the gold is
shipped from that city. The foreign
steamships sailing from this city now
carry little or no gold, although the &c
verse was the case years ago.
Kegs in which gold IS packed-"spe-
cic kegs" as they are callcd-arc made
of extra hard wood. They must have
an extra hoop. Specie is not thrown
loosely into a keg, nor, upon the other
hand, is it carefully wrapped in tissue
paper and piled up one coin upon another.
The keg serves only as a protection for
canvas bags, into which the gold is
placed in the ordinary hit-and-miss
fashion of pennies in a mans pocket.
into each bag go S., 900, AMI ten bags
fill a keg.
In the interests of security each bag is
treated to what is technically known
among the shippers as the cred tipping"
process. At each end OF the kcg, in the
projecting rim of the slaves above the
head, are bored four holes at cqui-distant
intervals. A piece of rel tape is run
through these holes, crossing on the head
of the keg, and the, ends firmly meet in
the centre. At the point of meeting the
tape is sealed to the kegs head by wax
bearing the stamp OF the shipper.
Gold crosses the ocean very much as
does every other kind of freight, with
"out any special looking after. The av-
erage rate of insurance is about So, 600
on a shipment Of 81, 00O,O 600. There are
shippers who no not insure Having to
ship ST., 900, 900, they give it in equal
parts to half a dozen different vessels. 1t
is a strict rule with some firms never to
trust more than $3.50, 900 at a time on
any one ship.
A certain party furnishes all the kegs
for gold and packs them. The man who
does this is monopolist in his way.
Shippers of large amounts always lose a
few dollars by abrasion, but not exceed
ing sixteen ounces en- a million dollar
shipment. The only protection to be
found against abrasion lies in the ship
ment of gold in bars instead of coin.
Gold bars are not readily obtained.

There is a voice that always speaks to me
In low melodious accents night and day;
Like to the far faint echo of the sea,
LAYING the golden sands WITH sily,ry spray,
Above life's tumult ~murmuring a way
So sweet, so soft,
Its tender cadence thrills my spirit ever,
And bears aloft
NV soul on its inspiring grand endeavor.
Above the noise and turmoil of my life,
Above all iarring tones it sweetly breaks;
And hushing for awhile each sound of stri e.
A stI ain of heavenly melody awakes;
Ali care. all pain, for che brief moment
takes.
seem to rise
Into the luminous nights of Gods forever,
Beyond the skies,
Upon the snowy pinions of endeavor.
Sometimes a darkness gathers DER the light,
A shadow lies between me and the stars,
And st aiming blindly upward through the
night
am shut out by firm, unyielding bars;
But no discordant tone that music mars,
80 rcb, SO clear,
From earthly cares it doth my soul discover:
seem to hear
TIE voice of God in that full, sweet en-
deavor. -,
Not unto petty aims it points, nor low;
Not to some barren cliff it guides my eyes,
But, close to where the sun with steady glow
Breaks through the misty barrier of the
skies
Unto the mount of God it bids me rise,
So sweet it falls,
1t doth expand into the grani orever
My pr son WALL,
And gives me strength to tea life's long en-
deavor.
